Blame Dean

March 26, 2008|Donald Kerr, Pompano Beach

Forget the spin on the Democratic delegate mess. It was a joint decision, which not only virtually all of the legislators but most of Florida thought was a good idea. Florida primaries have always been meaningless. We - Democrats and Republicans - are getting tired of having our nominees selected by Iowa, New Hampshire (and sometimes South Carolina).

The ghastly decision by the Democrats was the selection of Howard Dean as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Howard Dean overreacted? What a surprise! Didn't anyone remember his off-the-chart antics after the 2004 Iowa caucuses?

If he did not make a fool of himself in this situation, he would have found an opportunity elsewhere.
